The 90s were harder, though. Lines got much bigger in the 90s which has been carried over to today. In the 80s a line was only really big in a single year if it wasn't going to keep going without huge sales. Mega Force and Air Raiders, for example, were very large lines that only survived the year or so before they were out the door.

I remember collecting the 90s Marvel/X-Men lines with the ever expanding checklist on the back card and new versions of the same characters. We can blame the Batman line for that one which is also from the 90s. Did we really need 7 versions of Wolverine before they stopped numbering him? No, but that's what we got. Brown, Tiger Stripe, X-suit, Space, Robot... Cable was given the same big push.

10 years ago I hated the idea of TRU closing. Today, I'd be fine with it.
